Re: Bin files. Re: System 7.5.5 [was: my stash of Macs]
I never managed to install Open Transport on my LC (via the copy in System 7.5.3 Installer or via an OT Installer (1.1.1 and 1.1.2) on its own). Maybe an earlier version than OT1.1 will work on LC's, but I had no luck with version 1.1.1 or 1.1.2. Actually, to clarify, it was worse than that, in that the LC had a processor upgrade card (Sonnet Allegro 030 33MHz), which the OT Installers couldn't 'see'. The Installer just said you need an 030 processor or higher to run this software or something like that. Kind of presumed when I bought the card that it wld allow me into a wonderful new world of speed and stability, using stuff like OT, but, oh well, now I know different. I'm never quite sure if the card is working at all, actually. 'Clockometer' shows it as running at 33MHz, so I guess it must be... but it still seems that my IIci (030 25 MHz) might be faster (although it does have an FPU... that must help). I searched the Internet q a lot but never found any info on how to make the OT Installer recognize the 030... Anyone had any experience with these cards?

Re: System 7.5.5 [was: my stash of Macs]
Absolutely i'd love to have the 7.5.5 update on floppy disks know where I can get em? Navigating through Apple's new and improved support/software section of their website is a real hair-puller, but you'd eventually wind up here: http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html The System 7.5.5 Update is a three-disk download. Stuff like this is still within easy reach at ftp.apple.com. You really don't need that new and improved page for older software. BTW, considering we are talking about a LC I would not install anything newer than 7.1 and preferably even something older (the FAQ will tell you what would be the best). LC's are slow and crippled 68020's. -- Check out the System 6 Heaven: http://www.euronet.nl/users/mvdk/system_6_heaven.html Subscribe to the LEM system6 list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: System 7.5.5 [was: my stash of Macs]
Now on to my next small probem, the three disk update floppies are .sea.bin files which when I download through my PC get mangled as many people have told me before... anyone willing to convert them to .HQX files for me so I can bring them down to floppies using my PC then transfer them to my mac via the PeeSea? my mac does not yet have any access to the network because macTCP does not seem to be able to use shaw@home's DHCP...

I only want to update to 7.5.5 so I can get open transport going since I can't figure out how to get it on the net using DHCP and my cablemodem... You DON'T NEED 7.5.x to run Open Transport. Go to http://devworld.apple.com/sdk and download then install Drag Manager, Thread Manager and SFM 68k. Then get Open Transport 1.1.1 AND 1.1.2 from Apple's FTP site. Install 1.1.1 then immediately after rebooting, install 1.1.2. You'll also want to replace the 7.1 Finder with Finder 7.1.3 that comes with Drag Manager, even though the included instructions say it doesn't. Its also a good idea to trash any extentions and control panels, or at least disable them, that don't work with the LC. Control panels are easy, just doubleclick on each one and dump the ones that say they won't work on this Macintosh. For extentions you'll need a guide or someone who knows them well. Anything that says PowerBook can go straight to the trashcan. (Unless you have a PowerBook. ;-) = The earth swarms with inhabitants.

Bin files. Re: System 7.5.5 [was: my stash of Macs]
Hmm, MacBinary files usually download OK onto a PC. Tried dropping them onto Stuffit Expander or running Expander then using the menu commands to manually decode them? And, um, doesn't Open Transport require at least an 030 CPU? Or have I forgotten something?
